So sick of body

[Jlore]

Hi, I'm new to these forums, I've been browsing them for about a week and I decided it would be a great place to find some quality advice.
I'm 15, 130 lbs and about 5'1, 5'2. I'm basically sick of the way body looks. I want to lose body fat in stomach, thighs, and glutes and gain mussel(a 6 pack in 3-4 months when I enter sophomore year would be great!) but I'm not exactly sure where to begin, and if I can even do it. current exercise schedule is pretty light, and I'm eating a lot healthier(for like the past week I've been exercising/eating better daily).

this is around the diet/workout routine I've been keeping lately:

6:30 a.m: wake up - don't get to eat breakfast though

12 noon: usually a hamburger + 8 fl.oz bottle of water at the school Cafeteria

2:30: I'll usually eat some thing with protein, like a few beef sausage patty's with either some type of vegetable or a scrambled egg

3:00 p.m: 20 min tread/4.5 speed, 50 sit ups, 5 min on tread, 10 push ups

5:45: what ever mom makes, it usually has chicken or meat involved with it though, and I'll eat a veggie on the side.

7:00: some type of snack, like a handful of cashews or a granola bar. I've recently gotten power bar performance bars though, when should I be eating these?

9:00 p.m: workout - 20 min on tread/4.5 speed, 50 sit ups, 5 more min on tread, 10 push ups.

10:00 p.m: sometimes I don't eat here, but once in a while I'm hungry and will have some cereal /w fat free milk. usually the cereal around with fewest calories though.

1:00-1:30 p.m: sleep and do it all again tomorrow. I usually only get 10+ hours of sleep on fri nights and Saturday nights when I sleep in till noon.


I CAN go to a gym, but I guess I'm a bit self conscious and feel like I don't know what I'm doing so don't go often. I'm going to getting dumb bells for home soon so I can start working arms.

I don't feel like I'm going to make any progress this way, and I'm not sure whether I should be trying to lose weight, or gain muscle at this point. I just feel like I look fat, but I told a friend I'm eating healthier and they said I'll probably look "manorexic" soon, but they've never seen whats under the shirt. I can probably post a pic from the side from chest to thigh if needed.

Thanks for any help, I REALLY appreciate it!


oh and forgot to say I don't drink anything but water now, I go through 2-4 8 fl.oz bottles a day.

I hate to ruin it for you, but you won't get a six pack that quick, more than likely.

Always have breakfast.

Start Packing your lunch so you can eat healthier.

Cut the beef sausage for chicken or turkey.

Do sprints 2x a week instead of treadmill.

Sit ups suck.

Why even do 10 pushups.

Eat the meat and veggies, stay away from the bread.

Bars suck, they are filled with sugar.

I would sub the cashews for something else...wait for other posters.

No need to do the same workout twice.

Go to bed early. You need rest to grow.

Get access to that gym and search "your body is a barbell."

Drink fruit juices like apple juice, orange juice... you should drink at least 2 glasses of milk and a V-8 shoot each day.

Getting a hamburger at the cafeteria is not a good idea, try getting something healthier like a salad or a sandwich (whole wheat bread)

Your body fat level should be lower then 17% if you want a 6 pack

Deadlifts and Squats are the best exercises for 6 packs: crunches don't work

Here is a sample routine for muscle gain and fat loss (make sure you make it short and intense)

Day 1 - BACK: Plate Raises, Shrugs, Bent Over Standing Rows, Good Mornings. - Swimming

Day 2 - CHEST: Push Ups, Decline Push Ups, Flyes, Pullovers. - Rope Jump

Day 3 - ABS: Deadlifts, Squats, Oblique Side Bend. - Sprint

Day 4 - SHOULDERS: Overhead Shoulder Press, Laterals, Front Laterals. - Jogging

Day 5 - BICEPS: Curls, Hammer Curls, Concentration Curls. - Biking

Day 6 - TRICEPS & FOREARMS & ABS: Deadlifts, Extensions, Hand Close Push Ups, Reverse Curls. - Sprint

Day 7 - LEGS: Deadlifts, Squats, Lunges, Calf Raises. - Walk

It is suggest you to do 4 sets of 6 reps and another set until failure for each exercise, but it's your choice. You could sprint 2 times before the routine starts again. I added a suggested cardio workout next to each days. You can put them wherever you want.

don't do push ups, sit-ups and stuff like that to lose weight. the key to fat loss is cardio. Rope jumping, sprinting, jogging, walking, biking, stationary biking, swimming, there's a bunch of them! sports are great too. But the best cardio exercise for fat loss is sprinting.
